Lions ate a crocodile in the safari-park “Taygan” in the Belogorsk raion of Crimea. The media 15 minutes informs about that.
According to witnesses of the incident, now crocodiles live in the ponds on the territory of the safari-park, next to several dozens of lions. One of crocodiles came out of the pond on the shore, where he was attacked by several lionesses.
“We were looking in a daze at a real bloody scene of wild nature, when three lionesses attacked the unwary crocodile that came out of the pond. They dealt with him very quickly. Then a few lions came and they tore the carcass of the defeated reptile to pieces,” a woman, who visited the safari-park, said.
The director of the Crimean safari-park “Taygan” Oleg Zubkov confirmed that “lions successfully hunted the crocodile” last week. According to him, there is nothing unusual in this situation.
“We have six three-meter crocodiles living in the ponds, in the savannah. Last week, the lionesses hunted down one of crocodiles, when he came out of the pond and crawled to travel. They strangled him and finish eating now. Hundreds of visitors have seen this. It is pointless to take the crocodile away from lions. We have a piece of the African savannah presented there. There are crocodiles, running rabbits, dozens of lions. Here is the case, when lions ate the crocodile. Yes, it is bad, a crocodile costs three thousand dollars… But it is nature, it can’t be canceled,” he said.
